A major change in one’s life can be a stressor that is difficult to manage. When it comes to managing life transitions, a therapist can help you understand yourself, accept complex feelings as they arise and process them in a healthy way.

Some major life transitions that our therapists are skilled in working with include: job loss, divorce, loss of a loved one, break up of a relationship, going to school (high school, college), retirement, new career, move to a different state or country.

At the root of most psychological challenges is a low level of self-esteem. A high level of self-esteem creates resilience and the ability to follow through with action steps that can improve one’s life greatly.

Therapy addresses self-esteem issues by exploring the roots of low self-esteem and changing one’s sense of self and agency through a therapist’s unbiased, nonjudgmental presence.

Improved self-esteem can help with: career choices, an overall sense of wellbeing, healthy relationships, and healthy boundaries.

The quality of one’s life can be greatly affected by unhealthy relationships. Our therapists can work with you in gaining knowledge about healthy vs unhealthy love, how to communicate your needs in a healthy way, gaining insight of when to leave a bad relationship and navigating the beginnings of dating and new relationships.

We can work together in understanding the dynamics of your current relationship and past relationships. You can gain knowledge in how to implement boundaries, how to honor and express your needs in a healthy way. If you are looking for a relationship and on the dating scene, there is a lot to process in terms of how to navigate this stage of life.

There are many levels of trauma that one can experience in life. We are skillfully trained in dealing with complex trauma and working on processing past trauma and integrating the past into your current life.

Trauma work takes time and patience, but with the help of a trusted therapist, you can free yourself from the hold that trauma has on you. The rewards of dealing with past trauma include a better present and future, and seeing the world as a safe place.

Men have a lot of pressure put on themselves to match stereotypes of masculinity and strength, and also to be attentive and in touch with their emotions when it comes to relating to the opposite gender.

Therapy can provide a safe space for men to process their emotions and to understand themselves better. More men are seeking psychotherapy now as the need to give space to their thoughts and feelings and figure out better ways of relating to themselves and the world is invaluable.

Under the guidance of a trusted and nonjudgmental therapist, one can work on: improving relationships, understanding feelings, gaining clarity on goals and values.
